Where are you buying your hammer springs?

[Tomygun1]

Like others I have experimented with cutting my hammer springs looking to improve performance. But other than shot count the loss of power doesn’t work for me and I want to replace the springs for full power. No problem with my Crosman guns but My Diana Stormriders seem to offer a problem. I have the parts diagram but can’t find where to order parts from. eBay lists generic hammer springs but I don’t know what they will fit. I read about benefits from a dual hammer spring and if there is something to it now would be the time to learn. I see UK companies offering spring replacements but I am concerned that if I order from them I will get springs tailored to UK FP restrictions. Rather than guessing and testing I would rather ask ‘what has worked for you’.

Thanks

I've used McMaster. I've also found a few from my local Ace Hardware store that have worked. Just look up compression springs in your search and a few companies will pop up. Good luck!

compressionspring.com has become a favorite of mine.

Tons of stuff, fast shipping and really excellent search function.

McMaster Carr and Grainger have been the most common for me.

You’ll have that issue dealing with any gun that’s not made within the US. Metric is blasphemy in Bloomfield.

That's a great site but I can't find a use for $40 worth of springs to meet their minimum order. It would be great if they would just let us pay a small order fee.

There isn't a spring I have not been able to find at McMaster-Carr.
SAE or metric.
And their search function is logical & flexible.
Just my 2 scents
